Come here to discuss film, review film, and love film! I will be reviewing (or trying to review) every film I see as regularly as possible for all you budding film fans out there who are as obssessed with movies as I am! Although I may hate a film that everyone else sems to like please do remember that it is simply an opinion, and not to be taken too seriously!Very rarely does a day go by without me watching a film and I love the idea of keeping a record of what I have seen!

(NOIR) Woman in the Window - 1944 **** 1/2

Robinson plays a professor named Richard who leads a comfortable yet uninteresting life with his wife and children. One evening he notices a beautiful portrait in a window opposite the men's club where he spent time with his friends. While staring at it he turns and comes face to face with the subject of the portrait, the glamourous woman who posed for it, and he soon finds out that his life will never be quiet and comfortable again.

I thought the ending was excellent and I really wasn't expecting it. This is what makes such a brilliant film noir; the shadows on the walls, the sultry woman, the shady bad guys and the subtly witty dialogue. They really don't make them like this anymore. They really had to act then. I'm happy to tick this off my list and I'm sure it will be a film I will be revisiting. Fritz Lang is a god. You know that anything with his name on has the sealed stamp of approval.

About Me

This is my third blog, and although it will not be accessed as regularly as my film one, I am still going to try my hardest to list every book I read. This is not meant to be a discussion blog, simply a place for my own reviews based on literature I have read.
